Re: [PATCH] Respect crlf attribute even if core.autocrlf has not been set

And so here's the problem: svn hands you a file.  It may or may not
have CRLFs in it, and the line endings may actually be a random mix of
LF and CRLF, as I am actually experiencing at the moment in a
particular repository at work.  If core.autocrlf is anything other
than "false", git will modify the file, and git-svn won't be apply the
diff on the next revision.

 This sound like a specific problem with svn, not a general problem
 of git's autocrlf concept.  I work with a git-only workflow and I
 never see the problems you describe.

My apologies, I think I got this thread mixed up with a different
thread about the fact that git-svn doesn't work with autocrlf.

FWIW, this problem would apply to any system that incrementally
imports into git from another system using binary deltas.

Have fun,
